Marginalized from "summary" of The Disordered Cosmos by Chanda Prescod-Weinstein
Marginalized refers to the process by which certain groups of people are pushed to the edges of society, making them feel invisible or excluded. This can happen for a variety of reasons, including race, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or socioeconomic status. Those who are marginalized often face systemic barriers that prevent them from fully participating in society and accessing opportunities that others take for granted. These barriers can manifest in the form of discrimination, prejudice, or lack of representation in positions of power. Marginalized individuals are often not given the same resources or support as those who are considered to be part of the mainstream. This can lead to feelings of isolation, self-doubt, and a lack of confidence in one's own abilities. In the scientific community, for example, marginalized individuals may struggle to have their work recognized or taken seriously, simply because of who they are or where they come from. This can have a detrimental impact on their careers and overall well-being. It is important to recognize the ways in which marginalized groups are systematically disadvantaged and to work towards creating a more inclusive and equitable society. This means actively challenging the structures and systems that perpetuate marginalization and advocating for change at all levels. By amplifying the voices of marginalized individuals, we can begin to dismantle the barriers that prevent them from thriving and fully participating in society. In doing so, we can create a more just and equitable world for all.
